I loved it! As a French speaking person I know the story but this interpretation was so original and captivating! It was fun and yet it had depth about human tragedies that are timeless!

Following a hugely successful run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this Royal Shakespeare Company production arrives in the West End for a strictly limited season.

This fiercely funny yet deeply moving tale explores unspoken love, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to reveal your true self.

Olivier Award-winner Adrian Lester leads the cast as Cyrano, delivering a performance praised for its wit, vulnerability, and emotional depth.

Directed by Simon Evans and co-adapted by Debris Stevenson, this version reinvents Edmond Rostand’s classic with contemporary language, lyricism, and theatrical energy.

Critics call it “playful, poignant, and profound”. The production has earned rave reviews, celebrated for its humour, romance, and emotional impact, making it a must-see theatrical experience.

The Story

Cyrano, a soldier and poet, hides behind wit and courage, haunted by his nose. In love with Roxanne, he believes himself unworthy of her affection. When she confides that she loves the handsome Christian, Cyrano’s world shatters—yet he swears to protect his rival. Torn between devotion and desire, Cyrano must choose: remain in the shadows or risk everything to speak his heart. But as deception and longing entwine, one question lingers—how far will he go before truth demands its price?

Great actors all over. The death scene was eminently acted by Adrian Lester, but also from the actress you played Roxanne.
